Union Maid

Written by Woody Guthrie

	  		   C                                           F                  C
    There once was a union maid, she never was afraid,
          G                              C
    of goons and ginks and company finks,
                   D                               G
    and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
              C                                             F                    C
    She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called,
               G                       C
    and when the Legion boys come 'round
            F             G             C
    she always stood her ground.

               F                                                    C
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
                              G                                     C        C7
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
               F                                                    C
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
                              G        G7                    C
I'm sticking to the union        'til the day I die.

            C                                            F                           C
    This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,
              G                                C
    she couldn't be fooled by a company stool,
              D                 G
    she'd always organize the guys.
             C                                               F                      C
    She always got her way when she struck for better pay.
                  G                             C
    She'd show her card to the National Guard,
             D                         G
    and this is what she'd say:

             C                                             F                     C
   You gals who want to be free, just take a tip from me,
     G                                  C
   Get you a man who's a union man
            D                         G
    and join the ladies' auxiliary.
       C                                        F                       C
    Married life ain't hard when you got a union card,
         G                         C                       D              G        C
    A union man has a happy life when he's got a union wife.
